Thanks to snow conditions on Saturday, February 2nd 21 youth snowmobilers and their families were able to ride together on the trails of Waukesha County. The annual Youth Ride is an event organized by the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association for members of any Waukesha County snowmobile club so young snowmobilers can ride the trails with a parent or they can ride their snowmobile by themselves if they earned their snowmobile safety certificate. It's a great way for young riders to gain some experience. Check out some of the photos from this year's event.

Many thanks to event organizers Andy and Jodi Slaby and to everyone else who donated to or lent a helping hand to make this event possible. Special thanks to: Merton Flake Chasers, Eagle Kettle Moraine Riders, GLIDE, Stone Bank Schneelaufers, Lake Country Last Call, Dousman Snow Troopers, North Lake Nomads, Lac La Belle Cooney Riders, Bonnie and Dean Strube, AJ Iverson Heating and Cooling, Jerome and Kathy, Oconomowoc Tree Service, Monches Rec Club, Waukesha County Groomer Corp, Dennis and Wendi Pipkorn,  Darryl and Monique Taylor, Tony Sleck (cameraman), Jim Tetzlaff, Bruce Blodgett and Kathy Heinzelman and Becky Tetzlaff.

Club Involvement Pays Off

Educational scholarships awarded to area students

Hartland & Oconomowoc, WI - It was a great end to a rather mild winter for Miranda Stapelfeldt of Oconomowoc and Rudolph “Rudy” Otters of Hartland. Miranda and Rudy were recently awarded $750 educational scholarships each from the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association (WCSA).

The WCSA awards only two scholarships each year and this year the scholarship committee chose Miranda and Rudy. In order to be considered the applicant or their family must be a member of a Waukesha County snowmobile club, they must be a graduating high school senior or a student currently enrolled at a college or technical school, be an active members in his or her club and truly love the sport of snowmobiling.

Miranda, 23, is currently a member of two snowmobile clubs, the North Lake Nomads and the Schneelaufer Snowmobile Club in Stone Bank where she is currently serving as the club's treasurer. For Miranda, the scholarship will be applied towards getting her Associates degree in accounting at Waukesha County Technical College.

Rudy, 17, grew up in a snowmobiling family. His parents belong to the North Lake Nomads Snowmobile Club and over the past 5+ years Rudy has helped stake and brush the snowmobile trails their club maintains each winter. This fall, Rudy will be studying to become an electrician at Waukesha County Technical College.

“All of the funds awarded to Miranda and Rudy were raised and donated by fellow snowmobilers from the 17 Waukesha County Snowmobile Clubs,” said Wendi Pipkorn, Scholarship Committee Chair. “The committee was honored to award these two outstanding young people with an educational scholarship this year.”

The annual scholarship program is just one of many programs the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association funds to promote youth involvement in this 100% volunteer supported organization. For more information on the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association visit their Web site at waukeshasnow.org.

WCSA Hosts 2016 Youth Ride

Waukesha County Snowmobile Association let the kids play

Merton, WI –  It was a day of fun for the children of members who belong to one of the 17 snowmobile clubs in Waukesha County. The first annual Waukesha County Snowmobile Association's Youth Ride & Bonfire event was held at the Monches Recreation Park in the Town of Merton on Saturday, February 6 with help from the Merton Flake Chasers Snowmobile Club. While parents kept warm around the bonfire there was just enough snow for the children to run the pint-size snowmobiles around the track, drivers from Waukesha County Groomer Corp. gave rides in the groomer to anyone who asked and every child received a raffle ticket to win one of the many donated door prizes. For 15-year-old Savannah Steinmann of Oconomowoc, who recently aced her snowmobile safety test, it was an opportunity to drive some of the bigger sleds around the track, too.
